How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Back in the '80s and before, you were allowed to see violent movies for adults.Robocop was a movie you took your kids to see and we loved it. But that was before parents assumed that their kids were all idiots that couldn't distinguish between real l9ife and movies.Now the assumption is that kids today are fragile and vulnerable and the slightest stimulation will destroy their psyche and leave them in a catatonic state.That's what happens when you listen to psychologists.Moving back to the '80s, Robocop was rater "R" and every kid wanted to see it, so parents took their children to the movies and it became a hit.It became so much of a hit with kids that they made a cartoon out of it, because back then we could understand movies made for adults and enjoy them as much as we could dumb cartoons...save the obvious anti-privatization satire in the original Robocop film.And the cartoon wasn't dumbed down. Robocop's origin story was left unchanged and even rehashed. The blood was significantly less, but the story of the police killing was the same.And it didn't warp anyone.The only thing was...we wanted Robocop and the cartoon was a little too cheap to stand up to the movie.

Alex Murphy, a police officer, mortally wounded in the line of duty, is turned into a powerful cyborg and continues to serve the public trust, protect the innocent and uphold the law. This series doesn't deserve a 5.8 it does have some of the problems that the 1994 series had the live action one but that doesn't mean it sucks most people hate this and pretty much everything after the Original because they went from R to PG and i agree that was a mistake but that doesn't mean they sucked although that other cartoon where he turned into a freaking Iron Man of the future was kinda lame this franchise suffers by the same problems that Predator and Ghostbusters face after they decided to go on with video games, sequels and animated series. This one does have some great scenes tho a cool opening theme that shows the original movie and also some fights where Robo goes against the ED-209.

Back in the 80's, it was perfectly acceptable to adapt an extremely violent, R-Rated movie into a kid-friendly cartoon, and Robocop was no exception.The stories couldn't carry over the violence so instead they relied on the whole "is he a man or a machine?" plot threads. While those aspects stories were done quite well, they were surrounded by simplistic "I wanna kill Robocop" plot lines that brought down the quality of the stories.This show was a little more mature than shows like "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends," but not quite at the level of "Batman: The Animated Series," which many of its writers and producers when on to.

Decent cartoon version of the extremely violent 80's movie, with special nods on my part to the first episode which featured the Vandal's, my favorite badguys. My only complaint is that how is it that Clearance Boddicker appears in an episode of this cartoon, since Robocop killed him in the movie?
